"Pay taxes?" Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Xian and the others with puzzled eyes.

When Li Xian heard this statement in his heart at that time, he also chuckled in his heart, feeling a little bitter, how could he encounter such a thing in the wrong place?

"Why does that person stop when he wants, and who to pay for? Childe, look. Following the merchant's hand, Zhu Qizhen saw that the old man Huang ran to another store dozens of meters away at this time, and he also looked like before.

When the boss changed the soup, he finally found an opportunity and quickly grabbed the boss's arm.

puzzled and asked: "This old brother, this Boss Huang's business is big enough!" How did you buy so many shops? ”

The boss quickly glanced left and right, but still said vaguely: "Mu Shi, you are passing by, don't ask more about kilowatts, eat and drink and go." ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that there was a ghost, but since the boss was reluctant to say it, it was not easy to ask, so it happened that Guo Mao turned back leisurely, and Zhu Qizhen knew at a glance that he was going to connect with Jinyiwei.

"Got it?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

Guo Mao leaned towards Zhu Qizhen, and said softly: "I left a mark, there is no one in the location of contact, wait for the evening to see, you should take the initiative to contact me." ”

The reason why I say this is because the Jinyiwei who followed behind would inform the local people of his news, and the local Jinyiwei would definitely find him at that time.

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said; "Ask me what happened!"

"It's Childe!" Guo Mao replied.

Because of this episode, Zhu Qizhen and the others were not in much of the mood to eat, and hastily drank the soup bowl in their hands. When I paid the bill, I realized that just such a bowl of soup would cost five cents, which could already buy two and a half catties of rice.

"The boss's business is really profitable!" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sigh.

"The cost is high, there is no way, you can bear more!" The boss could only smile.

Several people don't know the prices outside, but compared to the capital, this price should be considered high. Maybe it's because Henan is the granary of the north, so the people live a relatively prosperous life, Zhu Qizhen thought.

Now that you have eaten and drunk enough, the next thing is to find an inn to rest, yesterday in order to rush to the post station, almost all night on the road, that is, to the city gate only slept for a while, this will be sleepy will gradually rise.

Zhu Qizhen sat in the car, scanning both sides of Dingding Street through the window, the architectural styles of the Sui and Tang dynasties began to increase, if you had seen these earlier, I believe that a few people would not recognize Luoyang as Kaifeng.

To Zhu Qizhen's surprise, he passed the old site of Mingtang on the way.

It was once the largest wooden building in the history of the world and the pinnacle of Chinese architecture, and the only remaining foundations and remnants seem to give a glimpse of the grandeur of the time.

Mingtang is the main hall of the great dynasty of Ziwei City, known as the "Vientiane Shrine", it is the landmark building of Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the Wuzhou Dynasty, up to 98 meters, covering an area of 12,000 square meters.

The Ming Hall, that is, the "Hall of Ming Politics and Religion", is an important ceremonial building used by ancient emperors for political and sacrificial purposes.

Tang and Wu Zhou Ming Hall was built in the vertical arch three years (687 years), completed at the end of the following year, called the Vientiane Shrine, allowing the people to enter and visit. It was destroyed in 695 and rebuilt the following year with the name "Tongtian Palace".

The hall has three floors, and the square shape on the ground floor symbolizes the four seasons. The middle layer of the dodecagonal shape imitates the twelve hours, the upper is the round cover, and the nine dragons hold it. The upper layer is 24 sides, and the law is 24 solar terms. On the top floor, there is a golden phoenix (later changed to a fire bead, known as a "national treasure"), and there are ten giant trees (15 meters in circumference), which runs through the top and bottom.

Liu Yunji, a Tang dynasty man, praised and said: "Guangdong has opened up since its own development, and there is no such spectacular person as Ruosi!" Beautiful, emperor!"

During the Kaiyuan period, Li Bai followed the Tang Ming Emperor to the Eastern Capital, and praised "Ming Tang Fu": "The dome Chongming Hall, relying on the sky to open up"; "The four doors open all countries to come, and the examination is retired to recruit talents. It's like an imperial palace and solid, and it's a thousand years of poverty!"

During the Anshi Rebellion, the Ming Hall was burned twice by the rebels and the Hui soldiers, and was completely destroyed in 762 AD. At this point, the Ming Hall, which symbolizes the fortune of the country, collapsed in the war and turned into scorched earth after witnessing the ups and downs of the Tang Dynasty and the changes of honor and disgrace.

(Now there is an archaeological excavation of the Sui and Tang Luoyang City National Heritage Park, if you like it, you can go to Luoyang to see and feel the weight of history.) ）

Seeing the relics of 600 years ago, people can't help but sigh at the changes of history, no matter how great it is, it will eventually pass away.

After wandering around the city for half an hour, I found the destination of this trip, recommended by Li Xian, everyone stopped at the famous cross street in Luoyang, which is a place where businessmen from all over the world gather, and it is mostly a place for foreign visitors to stay.

"Rifle Inn"

In front of the largest inn on the street, a thin boy dressed in the costume of a running boy greets him.

"How many of you are sharpening or staying in the hotel? Okay, there are seven people in the hotel! A few guest officers inside please! I'll send you a backyard and pack your horse with the best ingredients. Xiao Er took a few people into the store diligently.

Entering the door of the inn, the hall was full of accents, and it was breakfast time, and the guests were already full.

"How many guest officers are in the upper rooms?" Xiao Er stood in front of the counter and asked, there was a big-bellied man inside, wearing brocade clothes and smiling, waiting to register a few people.

"Dare to ask, but the innkeeper? I wonder what other rooms are in the store? Zhu Qizhen asked the middle-aged man.

The man said in a cute manner: "My surname is Huang, I am the shopkeeper of this inn, and we have seven upper rooms here, which is just enough for a few of our guests." ”

surnamed Huang again, Zhu Qizhen's heart moved.

"I don't need so many rooms, do you have suites? What kind of house for seven people in a set? Fan Zhong asked.

The original smiling shopkeeper stiffened his smile, and his original cute look was gone, and some officials said: "The largest guest room in this store can only accommodate two people, but there are a few chase shops in the backyard, which is enough for a few people." ”

Fan Zhong's face darkened and said, "Chase shop? What do you think of us? Think we can't afford to stay in a room? ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You asked if there was a seven-person room, and I introduced it for the needs of the guests, so you wronged me." ”

"You!" Fan Zhong was so angry with this shopkeeper that his hair stood on end.

"Okay, okay, in that case, then we need seven upper rooms." Zhu Qizhen didn't give Fan Zhong a chance to speak again.

"It's still this guest who is bold." The shopkeeper glanced at Fan Zhong.

Although Fan Zhong was angry, he also knew that he had nothing to say to this kind of person, so he couldn't bear to open his mouth.

But somehow, the yellow shopkeeper muttered unrelentingly: "Don't look at this place?" What a seven-person chase shop there would be, it's a joke. ”

When Fan Zhong heard this, he could only turn his head and stop listening to the words of the shopkeeper, but the clay man still had three points of blood, Zhu Qizhen was not happy, this person didn't look like a businessman who made money in a friendly way.

"That's all the shopkeeper said, right? You're the shopkeeper, we're the guests of the hotel, so even if you ask more, you won't be so aggressive, right? ”

I didn't expect it to be okay not to speak, but as soon as I spoke, the shopkeeper began to blow his beard and stare at him.

"Hey! What do you mean by that? You don't want to know what this place is? It's still a seven-person room, what's wrong with the old sow's cubs? Still have to live together? ”

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the other guests in the hall, and they all pointed at a few people.
